Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh didn't place the blame of their playoff defeat on the shoulders of Mark Andrews, despite his two agonizing mistakes. The Ravens suffered a 27-25 Divisional Rounds defeat to the Buffalo Bills in devastating fashion Sunday - all but sealed by two last-gasp errors by Andrews at a snowy Highmark Stadium.

With the game on the line and just seconds on the clock, the veteran dropped a two-point conversion to tie the game, moments after a costly fumble in the dying minutes of the blockbuster playoff clash. While Andrews, who entered Sunday's game without a dropped pass since Week 6, did not speak to the media, coach Harbaugh came out and defended the tight end amid the backlash directed at him.

'There's nobody that has more heart, cares more, and fights more than Mark,' Harbaugh told reporters after the game. 'We wouldn't be here without Mark Andrews. '… Mark will handle it fantastically like he always does, because he's a high-character person, a tough person and a good person. Proud of him like I'm proud of all the guys.'.
Mark Andrews dropped the ball in the end zone on a two-point conversion attempt Sunday. Baltimore Ravens head coach refused to blame the tight end for the playoff loss to the Bills. Trailing by eight points in the final two minutes of the game, Lamar Jackson had just hauled his team up the field with a glorious eight-play, 88-yard touchdown drive to seemingly take the game to the death.
